VERSE:
G
Is this what you meant?
AmEm
Is this what you dreamed of?
G
When you were making your plans
AmEm
Shaking the dirt off?
G
Do you feel like
AmEm
You and I belong? (Oh woah oh!)
G
Just keep your eyes on the road
AmEm
And nothing can go wrong
CHORUS:

You can do so much better than this

VERSE:
G
I've been checking my sums
AmEm
Oh where did the time go?
G
Holding my photograph
AmEm
Up to the window
G
Through the paper
AmEm
And refracted sun (Oh woah oh!)
G
I can see all the things
AmEm
I wish that I'd done
CHORUS:
DEmC
You can hang your hopes on the medicine
DEmC
You can put your faith in the phone in
DEmC
You can tell yourself you're doing your best
DEmC
You can do so much better than this
BRIDGE 1:
C
Get a grip on yourself
A
Get a grip on yourself
GAm
Could've been something, but you're too late
CC/BEm
And you weren't invited anyway
CHORUS:
DEmC
Cos the photograph showed the wrong man
DEmC
Cos there is no soap star holding your hand
DEmC
You don't see yourself in the freeze frame
DEmC
Must be someone else using your name
BRIDGE 2:
DEmC
And everyone will be the same
And everyone will gloat
DEmC
And everywhere you'll see your name
In every shop window
OUTRO CHORUS:
DEmC
It's better than this
DEmC
You can do so much better than this
DEmC
You can do so much better than this
DEmC
You can do so much better than this
OUTRO: G - Am - Em x2
